Examples from texts

Perhaps some infatuated swain has ere this mistaken insensibility for modesty, dulness for maiden reserve, mere vacuity for sweet bashfulness, and a goose, in a word, for a swan.
Не раз бывало, что какой-нибудь ослепленный пастушок по ошибке принимал бесчувственность за скромность, тупость за девичью сдержанность, полнейшую пустоту за милую застенчивость, - одним словом, гусыню - за лебедя!
